Grade: 6 Unit: 2 Week: 6 Absolute Value Dates: 11/5-11/7 Content: Compare & Order Integers, Rational Numbers; Compare
Theme Essential Question:
Can students apply and extent previous understandings of multiplication, division and the number system to divide a fraction by a fraction, find common factors and multiples and extend to the rational number system?
Essential Question:
Can students compare and order integers?
Can students compare and order rational numbers?
Can students interpret the absolute value of rational numbers?
Can students interpret comparisons involving absolute values?
Standards Apply and extend previous understandings of numbers to the system of rational numbers.
6.NS.7 Understand ordering and absolute value of rational numbers.
Interpret statements of inequality as statements about the relative position of two numbers on a number line diagram. For example, interpret –3 > –7 as a statement that –3 is located to the right of –7 on a number line oriented from left to right.
Write, interpret, and explain statements of order for rational numbers in real-world contexts. For example, write –30 C > –70 C to express the fact that –30 C is warmer than –70 C.
Understand the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from 0 on the number line; interpret absolute value as magnitude for a positive or negative quantity in a real-world situation. For example, for an account balance of –30 dollars, write |–30| = 30 to describe the size of the debt in dollars.
Distinguish comparisons of absolute value from statements about order. For example, recognize that an account balance less than –30 dollars represents a debt greater than 30 dollars.
Objectives:
Students will compare and order integers.
Students will compare and order rational numbers.
Students will find the absolute value of a number.
Students will find and interpret the absolute of rational numbers.
Students will interpret comparisons involving absolute values.
Reflections and/or Comments from your PCSSD 6th Grade Curriculum Team (Taken from Ohio Department of Education Teaching) Number lines also give the opportunity to model absolute value as the distance from zero. Simple comparisons can be made and order determined. Order can also be established and written mathematically: -3° C > -5° C or -5° C < -3° C. Finally, absolute values should be used to relate contextual problems to their meanings and solutions. Using number lines to model negative numbers, prove the distance between opposites, and understand the meaning of absolute value easily transfers to the creation and usage of four-quadrant coordinate grids. Points can now be plotted in all four quadrants of a coordinate grid. Differences between numbers can be found by counting the distance between numbers on the grid. Actual computation with negatives and positives is handled in Grade 7.
Mathematical Practices 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4. Model with mathematics. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 6. Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
